The Oven Decision — Pick Your Pizza Oven + Get My Exact Gear List (Guide + Picker Spreadsheet)

The two questions I get every single day: "Which oven should I buy?" and "What's your exact setup?"

This answers both — for $7.

PART 1: THE OVEN DECISION

The three questions that eliminate 80% of the market before you look at a single price tag. Then the actual 2026 lineups — every Gozney and Ooni model — reviewed honestly by someone who cooks on this gear for a living:

— The full Gozney range, Roccbox to the Dome Gen 2 (the oven that runs on my tailgate — twice), with exactly who each model is for

— The Ooni lineup given a fair shake — including the two spots where Ooni is genuinely the smarter buy

— The specs that actually matter (stone mass, mouth height, wind behavior) vs. the marketing noise (max-temp bragging)

— The used-market inspection checklist: get a premium oven at 60–70% of retail without getting burned

PART 2: MY EXACT GEAR LIST — WITH LINKS

Not "a" gear list. MY list. Every item around the ovens on my working rig — peels, thermometer, scale, proofing boxes, gloves, covers — with direct links to the exact gear, what spec to look for if you buy elsewhere, and a budget tracker so oven money doesn't quietly become oven-plus-$300 money.

Plus the Oven Picker spreadsheet: all ten current Gozney and Ooni models pre-loaded with prices, and a 3-factor scoring system that ranks your personal shortlist automatically.

Full transparency: I'm a Gozney Collective member and some links are affiliate links — they cost you nothing and support the rig. I'll always tell you when the other brand wins.

$7. The cheapest insurance you'll ever buy against a $400 mistake.
